Incidentally, I&#39;ve already been to the cemtery, and I don&#39;t remember anyone else--other than the family I already knew of--being in the family plot.

I&#39;m sure she would have remarried.<br /><br />On the other hand, I can&#39;t forget about my old nemesis: those editorial errors in newspapers. Who knows? Maybe that whole entry was in error.
